Our thoughts are with you at this time. Sincere condolences for your loss. We will always remember the happy times we spent with your mom. Helga, Walter, Margaret and Rita
I will always remember my Auntie Loretta for her strength, and straightforward ways. There was no guessing how she felt about people places and things. She never shied away from giving an opinion. Her honesty made an impression on me and I welcomed her loving yet stern advice . She was like a second mom and I will miss her always.
